What are the Benefits of Laser Therapy?

Image
The term LASER is an abbreviated form of the Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. It gives an improvement of particular properties of light energy. Laser light will function as per the fundamental laws of light, in that it travels in straight lines at a consistent velocity in space. It can be broadcaster, reflected, refracted, and absorbed. Depending on its wavelength/frequency which will differ according to the particular generator under consideration, it can be kept within the electromagnetic spectrum.  A surgical laser is utilized to cut tumors and destroy cancer cells. Laser surgery is usually applied to superficial cancers, including: Basal cell skin cancer Cervical cancer Vaginal cancer Vulvar cancer Penile cancer Non-small cell lung cancer   Lasers can also be employed for laser-induced interstitial thermotherapy (LITT). It is a form of hypothermia therapy. These treatments broadly include heating cancerous tissue to a high temperature. Can

Concept of Laser Therapy in High and Low Intensity

High intensity laser therapy is based on the well-known principle of low-level laser therapy. High power and choice of the right wavelength allow for deep tissue penetration. HIL offers powerful and non-addictive form of pain management.  Through a natural process of energy transfer (bio stimulation and photo mechanical  effect) it speeds up healing and regeneration. HIL is particularly effective in treatment of sport injuries, e.g. muscle strain or joint distortion, and back pain caused by e.g. herniated disc or disorders in the cervical region causing neck pain. Laser (acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) can be used as a therapeutic device which produces monochromatic (one specific wavelength), coherent (constant phase) and polarized (directional) light.The source of laser beam in therapeutic high-power lasers is typically a semiconductor diode capable of producing light of one specific wavelength (e.g. 1064nm). The light generated by the diodes
